Electronic Musing

Trying to untangle my own motivations to compose.

You know what it’s like when music, sound, and the related equipment just amuse you beyond words?? You just want to sit there all day and fuck with it.

Just write the best music you can, and leave it at that.

There’s no step-by-step formula for music. Almost everyone picks up on this intuitively… yet, people will still ask, “How do you write music? Where do I start?”

Sometimes, you do a jam, and it’s magic. Lightning in a bottle. There’s some inexplainable quality to it, kind of like what sets “Excalibur” apart from “a sword”. It becomes an artifact. If you’ve had it happen, you’ll know what I mean.

Music is an experience, and in order to create a rich experience, we must experience as much as possible ourselves.
